How strong is the bergamot in Davidson's? I've tried Mountain Rose EGT and love it...is this close?

The Davidson's bergamot is fairly strong. Haven't tried the Mountain Rose EGT of your question for comparison, but can say it is MUCH stronger bergamot than Panera earl greyer or earl grey in restaurant pre-packaged bags. If the bergamot turns out too strong for your taste, blend a bit with a straight black tea such as Irish Breakfast. I personally like the flavor, but mix it up to vary the flavors of tea.

I wouldn't say the taste is quite strong. The smell is VERY strong. It had a bit of a chemically taste to it (if that makes sense). It really did not taste like any earl grey I've ever tasted and I don't mean that in a good way. I even like the smokier earl greys. Did not like this one bit. Returned!

Strong bergamot smell. Tea is not bitter. But if you make your tea with milk and honey, it will taste like you are drinking some cough syrup.

I've never tried that but the bergamot is pretty strong. The flavor isn't bad at all nor is it super bitter. The aroma of the leaves is good but very strong.

It is a full flavored tea (that is not some supermarket tea). Bergamot is a kind of grapefruit and the flavor runs true to that (hints of citrus, kind of smokey). personally I prefer the lavender earl gray since I like my earl grays slightly sweeter.

It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me. It worked on cold sores and that was it. I wasn't impressed. On an impulse I decided to give another thieves brand a try. EdenS Garden DID work. I used for head congestion and coughing. 4 drops in a diffuser and 2 drops in 1 tblsp.grapeseed oil rubbed on chest and wrists....knocked it out. I like this 4 thieves better BECAUSE it has more lemon and eucalyptus than clove ( like YL). Clove is an angalesic which is great for numbing. For me the proof is in the pudding. EGs smelled a little differently yes....but it's the one that is effective and works for me against the one that does nothing for me. It has more Eucalyptus than YL.....the YL didn't work for me.

I'll second D.L. Boyd's suggestion. The English breakfast should help maintain a good, black-tea flavor while mitigating the strength of the Bergamot.

Bergamot is an ancient aroma used by kings and princes for centuries. It has an orange/lemon aroma but less floral. I think it smells best mixed with other citrus smells, or with other Eurasian aromas (like sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh).

To be honest, I'm not convinced. I have to tell you though, I wouldn't give this stuff to my worst enemy. There are other more quality brands out there. This one has some not so good stuff in it. Look into Urban moonshine maple flavored. 1000% better. I am not a rep for their product either. Just someone that has tasted both and threw this one out.

In my experience with Plant Therapy they are very high quality oils at a small percentage of the price of the DoTerra or Young Living oils. If you go to their website they have lot's of information as well as on staff aromatherapists to answer questions! I only use PT oils.

I have never tried anything other than heavy cream. It is worth trying...I will give it a try. ERC

Actually it has a very strong rose scent without even a hint of geranium in my opinion. I then got some geranium essential oil from Edens Gardens and it had much more of what I think of as a rose geranium scent.

Earl Gray is indeed a tea flavored by bergamot, but this Irish Breakfast is not flavored with any additional ingredients to my knowledge. It's just black tea and the blend is very tasty. Different teas grown in different countries have different flavors just like wine grapes have a 'terroir' based on where they're grown. I don't know which countries grow the tea for this Irish Breakfast blend but it has a super stand-alone taste.

I love Gorham's Melon Bud flatware! The weight has always been a key criteria for me. Have never in my 25+ years of using Melon Bud had it fall off of a plate.

We have never used the Mountain Rose Herbs Essiac so can not really tell you an answer to your question. We have used the Flor-Essence for more than 15 years and we make it from the packets instead of buying it bottled.

I buy this in Italy for about 7euros on sale, the 4 pack kilo, whenever I go. When I am not in Italy I order it here for double price. It is the same as what I buy there, only there there are many choices for the Crema e Gusto, I like the Napolitano Gusto. Also I prefer the Lavazza Rosa. Crema e Gusto is a lighter blend that has espresso but I don't think of it as their real espresso. I would go for the Lavazza Nero or Espresso (black package/container) for the full flavor espresso, very strong, pure espresso. Lavazza Rosa is a bit stronger than Crema e Gusto but still a nice blend.

Twinnings pales in comparison. I used Davidson Earl Grey at my High Tea for the Earl Grey fans and they were in complete agreement that this Earl Grey is superior to any they have had before. Davidson should put me on thier payroll!!!

Jarrow is the formulator and distributor of the product.All the data I have seen states that Bergamot is grown in Italy.

Dunno. Sorry. One thing is clear: The Markwort Volcano costs about 4X what the Campell Hausfield costs. The reviewers seem to think it's a higher quality item. My sense is: I'd like Snap-on quality but settle for Craftsman as the better value.

I've had it for 3 months now, using it everyday, sealing the package after every use, still as fresh as new, I also have the Earl grey tea from Davidson's and same story, in 3 months still smells and tastes as good as new, quite impressive...
